Much credit to Henry Beard and Doug Kenney, Harvard grads who became the creators of the most influential comedy of the 70's and 80's. This movie in the celebration of "Drunk, Stoned, Brilliant, Dead" was outstanding. Sure, some may think its crude and a tongue in cheek kind of a slap in the face of a horrific and tragic event, but in all reality, that is exactly what they wanted! This was an excellent "mocumentary" of the creators of National Lampoon, arguably some of the most cutting edge comedy of two decades creating movies and skits that are still quoted and referenced to this day. If you have ever watched "Animal House", or "Caddie Shack" you will know exactly what I am talking about. Watching this made me realize, even after seeing the movies a million times that even Saturday Night Live stole skits, and actors from this realm. This movie had me laugh out loud and I stood up to cheer for how well Will Forte and Joel McHale portrayed the real life characters. If you like dry humor and a bit of raunch this is the one for you! Netflix original, and one of its best!
FYI: There are a number of cameos in this film, including Paul Rudd (see if you notice)
